    <dd>The basic aim of CSS is to offer hints and aids for the direct translation
     of a document and its elements to differing physical media. There are times
     when the information contained in a document's structure is not enough to
     display the intended content. In HTML, the various list structures are a
     perfect example - the bullets and iterative/hierarchical numbers that are
     rendered before the items in the list are not explicitly present in the
     source document. This content is automatically generated by the browser
     when rendering an element from the source document.
     <br><br>

     CSS2 extends this concept of automatic content generation to allow content
     (strings, quotes, list generators or objects) to be rendered before or after
     any element. Generated content includes aural rendering as well; auditory
     icons can offer powerful usability enhancements for a listener.
